A night splint actually comfortable enough to sleep in! Made of cool, breathable foam material, this plantar fasciitis night splint is lightweight with less bulk than other night splint devices for superior comfort. The inner shell provides lateral side support with an opening at the ankle to prevent irritation on the sensitive ankle bone. An adjustable hinge adjusts the amount of dorsiflexion from 0 to 10, and a built-in toe wedge gives an additional 5 plane for even greater stretch across the plantar fascia. Easy and quick to apply and comfortable enough to sleep in. |
HOW DOES THE HEALWELL CUB RESTING COMFORT SLIPPER NIGHT SPLINT WORK?
Plantar fasciitis splints are called "night" splints because they are typically worn at night during sleep or while resting after activity. Often the most severe pain and inflammation of plantar fasciitis is experienced in the morning, causing the first few steps to be excruciating. The position of the feet and ankles as we sleep promotes cramping of the fascia and calf muscles. When feet are pointed under the weight of blankets the plantar fascial ligament is contracted (shortened). Those first steps in the morning are painful because the muscle and ligaments, which have been contracted all night, are suddenly stretched and pulled. The HealWell Cub Night Splint is designed to comfortably position the foot in a controlled amount of dorsiflexion to provide a gentle stretch to the plantar fascia and Achilles Tendon. This gentle stretch helps reduce the ligamentous contracture, inflammation, and associated pain, and helps promote healing of the injured soft tissues. Night splints have been clinically proven to reduce symptoms of plantar fasciitis.
